Sorry, what I'm trying to explain is that protests require specific demands.

If a protest like this got any traction, companies could just say "ok we're listening, we will think about reinstating some DEI things".

I see what you're saying, but it sounds a little like "no true Scotsman", too. I guess Occupy probably did this better, but I'm not sure it helped enough.

Actually this is how occupy was undone. They couldn't agree on demands and in the end everyone just got frustrated with each other and the whole thing fizzled out. There was conjecture at the time that CIA plants frustrated this process.
